We came up from Port Charlotte to see The Beatles Tribute band Sat night . They were absolutely awesome! The ball room was beautiful and excellent svc from the bartender. We would go again. read more

Tuesday night pizza deal can't be beat - a great value, for sure. We ordered two pizzas for the table, and even though they were busy, they arrived reasonably quickly. The staff in the ballroom were working hard, but there weren't enough of them. Drink refills were slow, and follow up after food arrived was almost non-existent. The ballroom is ok if you into relatively loud music - karaoke was that night, but it was cold there. The seating around the outside of the ballroom is also not ideal - the tables are situated too far from the wall benches, and it is not comfortable to eat that way. I'd sit in the restaurant next time. Hopefully with time, they'll get these things straightened out. read more

Well...here goes: Valentine's Day - $55 per person (not bad)...Food was a different story: BAD! They opted to do a buffet-like arrangement, which was a good idea to keep the guests moving, set outside, in the cool evening...not bad, however NOT keeping the food hot...but THE FOOD! The FOOD...Terrible! Chicken Parm was like you get in a tv-dinner...soggy, (over-breaded soggy) the chicken Marsala tasteless and it was lukewarm at best, fried shrimp...(if you could find the shrimp in the breadcrumbs) was like something you get in a bad at the frozen isle in Walmart, TERRIBLE! The roast beef wasn't bad, but sliced soooo thin you could see through it (true, you could go back again and again) but do you really want to do that???some of the veggies weren't bad, but again, lukewarm. Hated it! We'll probably go back for a regular dinner (as we have in the past) but never again would I take the chance on the buffet route! Service was GREAT as always by Ms. Helena but that's about all that was worthy of our Valentine's date night this year! read more

my wife and I went here for dinner Sunday with a couple of neighbors and our very good friend Graham Ledger. we had a reservation for 5 at 6pm. They had a very nice booth for us. our waiter did a great job and was very pleasant. This place used to be called Mama Leones. The place was very crowded so I was glad we had a reservation. Everyone was satisfied with the delicious food and the prices were reasonable. Mikey says try it you'll like it! Try to get Helena as your server, she is the best! read more

I wouldn't eat here if it was Free . Poor sineage dirty stained booths and curtains.Over cooked tasteless over breaded , disgusting garlic bread. Commercial pizza toppings can I say overcooked again $$$ Literally the worst Italian in Venice area in 20 years Very nice friendly wait staff read more

This is a very upscale Italian restaurant so dress nice we went in with some friends to have dinner and two hours later we were finished. This is not a place where you go eat and leave. It's an experience. I had the spaghetti and meatballs with vodka sauce, it was really good. My wife had some sort of chicken sandwich. She said it was OK. Our friend had the shrimp scampi and he said it was just OK . The rest of our friends had a sorted Italian. They said it was OK nothing outstanding. It was kind of pricey. Sounds entertainment in the bar seemed fun and I think you're paying for the atmosphere because it was tremendous. I'm not sure I would go back to eat. My wife said she would go back and try the pizza anyway they had a pretty cool bar, which I'll include a couple pictures. read more

I went last night with my sister, her husband and my boyfriend. It took forever to get our drinks. We ordered our food. I ordered Pork Milanese. When the food came, a bowl of spaghetti was put in front of me. I asked the waiter " what is this?" He said Pasta bolognese. I said "I ordered Pork Milanese" He said he misunderstood and would take the pasta back and get the correct item. I didn't want to do that because everyone else had their food. It turns out, Pasta bolognese, to them is spaghetti in meat sauce. My sister had ordered the same as me and she too got the pasta. We cracked up laughing. The food was not very good. My boyfriend's sausage was burned and the pizza was not good. We took home most of the food to feed the outdoor animals. read more

Okay, I had steak. It sounded good in the reviews I've heard and seen. Prepared by their Executive Chef isn't saying enough. Prepared at the table and presented in extraordinary fashion. Flame, smell, and with total attention of the process was more than I expected. The best part? The meal was plentiful and extremely delicious. You gotta go. read more

It was so nice to finally try Tuscany Nokomis! We were greeted by friendly smiling faces and seated quickly. They had Troy singing some oldies and goodies. He had a crooners voice and ladies, he was gorgeous to look at! Not long after we were seated, the owner Jimmy came by and spoke with us, making us feel welcome and giving us a little of his background. Very friendly and fun guy! The food: The special was Jimmy's famous Ossu Busco which is what I had. It was on point with very unique flavors. The meat melts in your mouth it's so tender! Absolutely delicious! My better half tried the chicken Franchisee and it was also delicious and flavorful. I'm looking forward to coming back! Thank you Jimmy for making us feel so welcome! read more

Food was good but it took 50 minutes for a table on a Tuesday and they only told us 20 minute wait. It two hours from the time we sat down until we had food for overall a 3 hour long visit even when we ordered right away and expressed we had quite a drive home. We ended up being one of the last in the restaurant and it felt like the service slowed once the rush was over. The food was good, server was nice and the ambience was good but overall just not worth the long dragged out experience again. read more

We dined at Tuscany Nokomis this past Thursday and tried their special, the (Osso Buco). Between you and me, I really did enjoy it--however, I happen to like this particular dish better at another spot in town. That said, Tuscany's version was still very good: flavorful, tender, and well-prepared. The bone slipped right out, and the portion was generous for the price. The creamy risotto it was served with was also quite good--I added a bit of grated cheese and a pinch of salt to suit my personal taste. The asparagus were a bit thin, but fresh and tender, and the hollandaise sauce that came with them was clearly homemade and absolutely delicious. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and our cocktails were perfectly balanced. Overall, a lovely dining experience and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. The gentleman that played the piano was also quite friendly and personable read more

Service is poor, food is expensive and not great. Space is quite nice. I'm afraid our visit was a big disappointment to us.

Very expensive and there were not enough servers. Our sever was very nice. We will not go back. A waste of money. They still had Xmas decorations on the walls. read more

Met a friend for an early dinner in early March. Happy hour is from 3 - 6 with 1/2 price cocktails. The restaurant has a quietly elegant appearance with a piano bar area, white linen tablecloths and staff professionally dressed in black and white. There was live music which added ambiance without being too loud. After fasting we were starving! My husband and I both chose from the early bird menu while our friend chose from the standard menu. Early bird menu items come with a choice of salad or soup, an entree with your choice a side. Warm chunks of slightly cheesy garlic bread arrived quickly to the table. The salads were fresh and of a generous size. My husband chose chicken Marsala w/ duchess potatoes and I had the salmon on angel hair pasta with a lemon butter sauce. Both dishes came with perfectly cooked broccoli. Our friend had fettuccini with bolognese sauce in a huge bowl. We decided to indulge in dessert. Crème brûlée, death by chocolate (cake) and a chocolate tartufo were all delicious. The server Alison gave us just the right blend of service: attentive without hovering. Our dinner for two with two cocktails entrees and desserts was $81 before tip. read more

Disappointing and Unprofessional We had been to Tuscany Nokomis several times before and always had good experiences, which is why I chose it for what I hoped would be a special night out with my elderly grandparents. Even with a 6:30 PM reservation, we weren't seated until 7:15. The restaurant was extremely busy, but the service felt disorganized and inattentive. Our server talked a lot about how busy things were and promised us her "full attention," yet we were left waiting for long stretches. The food arrived cold, and while free tiramisu was offered, it didn't make up for the overall experience. After dinner, my mother and I went into their new, separate ballroom. We ordered cocktails and a glass of wine. Since it was opening night, we tried not to complain, but we genuinely didn't like the wine and politely asked for that one glass to be removed. What followed was shocking. The owner came over and began yelling aggressively at us about how much he paid for the band and how it wasn't his problem -- all over one glass of wine. Later, I spoke with his wife in the parking lot and received no apology, only excuses and dismissal. This experience completely changed how we feel about this place. Stress is never an excuse to treat customers this way. We will not be returning. read more

Michelle was our server & she was EXTRA fabulous!! Menu Choices 100% Food taste & Presentation 100% Restaurant is Beautifully Decorated 100% We visited 6-15-25, The singer reminded of a lounge singer at the old Las Vegas Strip...That would turn me off from ever returning. Sad, Sad, Sad.... Asked for a table the farthest away, and here he comes to serenade .... UGH!! Please, no singer's, just background music. Other than that, everything was great! I'm 71, husband 77, Sons 51 & 46 and we of all rather heard Phish, Fleetwood Mac, covers instead of that "Rosebud's" music read more

Both my husband were excited when we went there. We both had the chicken parmigiana. Sadly it was dry. I would say the chicken parmigiana probably would have been great if there was sauce on it. read more

Took 15 Minutes to order two glasses of wine let alone get it served. Then another 20 minutes to get the attention to order something. Then another 20 minutes to get the appetizer. When the caprice salad arrived we thought they brought the wrong order. Looked like watermelon not tomatoes. Thick non ripe tomato with mozzarella cheese on each slice and then the basil. No balsamic glaze. Asked the owner and he said the glaze is under the basil. One drop? Anyway, eventually she cut into it and ate the cheese but the tomato was a whole tomato skin. No pulp. Told the owner we didn't want to pay for this and he said he "didn't want to hear no lip. That was a rose garnish." I said you "and you hide the garnish under the cheese?" He again said he "didn't want to hear no lip that we were drunk." He then walked away. Guess what. We walked away too. Never again. read more

Old-school Italian meets Chicago city style -- great food and a classy neighborhood restaurant vibe. The kind of place where everything feels familiar, but elevated. Perfect mix of comfort, flavor, and style. Love going there with my social group they are very accommodating with large groups. read more

If I could give -1 stars I would. Terrible service. 1:45 minute wait for our food. 2 tables went through before our food came. My water was empty for an hour. The pizza was cold and the order was wrong. This place sucks! read more

Pizza and eggplant parm are fantastic. Alfredo sauce is terrible. I was disappointed to see a full size American flag on a short stick in front of the place. The flag is not supposed to drag on anything beneath it and should not be displayed when ripped and tatted. read more

Excellent! We went with some friends and we were impressed. I had lamb chops. The best I've ever had. They were so tasty and prepared just right. Husband had a veal Parmesan and it did not disappoint. The wine was good. Great night out read more

Went for dinner and was sadly disappointed once again. The crab cake tasted old and fishy. The sauce on the crabcake was even worse, still had shell pieces in it. The other guests ordered a pizza and were very happy. The lobster bisque is tasty. So stick to the Italian dishes because they don't know how to cook seafood. They took 2 hours to serve us after we placed our order. read more

I'm a senior Italian grandmother and in my life I have never had worse food! There is nothing Italian or Tuscan about this place. All three dishes we ordered were completely subpar. The gnocchi were a bad joke and looked like roasted tater tots and were baked not boiled and the clams and pasta were swimming in a mystery liquid and the pasta was limp and overcooked. If you want good food and at least quasi authentic Italian food do NOT go here! read more

Was really looking forward to going here. Took 30 minutes for drinks to arrive and 1 and a half hours for food. Everything came out cold. Spaghetti was stuck together. Tried talking to owner he was very rude. Our waitress was new and clueless. After taking our order she came back 20 minutes later to go over it with us?? Will never go back. read more

I'm so sad about this. I wanted to love it. My husband and I got there about 6:30 on a Saturday (8/2) evening and there was a small wait to be seated so we opted to sit at bar. There was a Frank Sinatra Act - top notch, best part about this. Our bartender was Kenneth. We started with Pellegrino while we looked over the drink menu. (Which was the only menu we were given) It took Kenneth awhile to come back. (10/12 minutes) I'm going to note that the bar wasn't really busy. I asked for food menus. He gave me one special menu & one dinner menu. My husband ordered a dirty martini, and when Kenneth brought that, I ordered the mini meatball pot off the specials (5 mini meatballs) and again, Kenneth was off. A long time again goes by (at least another 12-15minutes), we still only had the one set of menus. Kenneth walks past (didn't stop) and I ask for another set of menus, and if he had put in my order for meatballs. He said yes, handed me menu set and was off. Easily another 12-15 minutes went before we were finally able to place our order. Still no meatballs. It got to the point our pellegrino was empty, my husband was ready for another drink, and our bartender was not in sight. My husband headed to the restroom and saw him on the other side of the bar just chatting with another bartender My husband told him he were in need of everything. He rushed over and refilled our drinks and assured me my meatballs were coming When we finally received our food, the whole order was wrong. My husband didn't get at all what he ordered. (NY strip MR side pasta - out came something that looked like ribs covered in bbq sauce with onion rings and broccoli) The 2 huge meatballs that came out with our meal that were not the meatball appetizer special we ordered and my chicken parm was chicken parm but I requested and was charged for bolognese that was not in sight. We returned my husbands meal and just asked for a box and the check. We got our check and it was also wrong. The wrong meatball charge, a charge for chocolate milk we didn't have. Chargers for bolognese e didn't get. At this point, it was 8pm and we were just over it and the other bartender (Taylor) just found the whole thing funny and made comments about us hating Kenneth and asking how our chocolate milk was When I asked to correct the bill, Kenneth took off the chocolate milk but charged for the second pellegrino, removed my husbands meal but not his upcharge for the bolognese he requested on his pasta side. From start to finish, it was a bad experience- I'm giving two stars purely because of the Frank Sinatra entertainment I wish we had just waited for a table, it probably would have been a better experience. And I can't really advise to the quality of the food, since I didn't eat it hot and my husband ate Friday leftovers when we got home This was a Saturday date night bust ‍ I highly doubt we will be back. Edited to add- during this 90 minutes of bad service, my husband and I also watched the owner approach a table near us and say to a woman "I hear you didn't like my chicken." It was bold and you could tell she was uncomfortable but stood her ground and said no, she didn't. Wild. read more

We had a truly disturbing experience at Tuscany Nokomis that lasted from happy hour all the way through the end of the night during the Rod Stewart tribute band last week. To start...There were multiple phone calls beforehand with the person coordinating the evening for our group of about 15 people. The group package details changed several times -- sometimes a drink was included, sometimes dessert options changed, and the price varied depending on who we spoke with. It was confusing from the start. When we arrived at 4:30pm for happy hour, we were pushed back out the door and told we needed to pay the cover charge/group dinner package before even entering. The package included salad, dinner (with three options), and dessert. The woman coordinating the evening, who introduced herself as Judy, oddly prefaced the night by saying it would be "a night of forgiveness and understanding," which in hindsight was concerning. The major issue occurred at the end of the night. One person in our group -- the one who had organized the entire evening -- questioned her bill after being charged $15 for a drink during advertised half-off happy hour. She simply asked what the correct happy hour price was. Instead of calmly explaining or correcting it, Judy became hostile. She called members of our group "cheap bitches" and berated us for "being there six and a half hours," which was irrelevant. The situation escalated further when the chef, Jimmy (who we later learned is Judy's fiancé), had to intervene and told Judy to stop talking because she was drunk and making things worse. He physically removed (pushed her out of the door) her from the room, during which she struck him, and then he pushed her out into the bushes...the scene became chaotic. It did not end there. Judy returned and aggressively pushed a cart into my mother, told us we were banned, and threatened to call the police -- all because we asked a question about a drink price. The police never came; that was simply a threat. When we calmly said we were fine speaking to officers, we were told that questioning a $3-$4 difference didn't matter because they "spent $4,000 on a band." That has nothing to do with customers asking about their bill. After waiting to write this review, we also learned additional issues occurred within our group that night -- including double charges, inappropriate handling of conversations, someone who ordered first receiving their food last, and some guests not receiving the dessert that was included in the package. I do want to make it clear that the servers and bartenders working that evening were kind and professional. This situation had nothing to do with them. We did nothing wrong. We asked a billing question. The response was profanity, aggression, threats, and physical contact. This was not just poor service -- it was unprofessional, hostile, and unsafe. We will not be returning, and I strongly encourage ownership to seriously address how guests are treated. read more

Visited Tuscany with a party of three. Took forever to even get water to the table. Then it was explained to us they were training new waitresses. Food was good but not worth the $250 including tip we paid. To make matters worse they had an old guy singing Karaoke all the time. Geeze! I'd stay away until they get their act together over there. read more

Tuscany is a wonderful experience. The food is top shelf, service is good and the setting is perfect. Be back soon.

If I could give it 0 stars I would! I ordered chicken parm easy dish I got a chicken patty! I didnt Eat it. Disgrace

When you're here, you're family. This is not an Italian Bistro or brick oven gourmet pizza spot. It is a super cozy, comfy, family style Italian eatery with a big menu, fun open Italianate decor, a nice bar area. tasty food, friendly service, and sizable desserts. My lil wanted to go back again the next day for another dessert. And she looooves calamari. The pizza is solid. The salads are impressive. I like this place. Sierra took good care of us. They have patio seating. They have a nice bar area under a dome with TVs. The rest of the dining area is cozy with tables and booths. They serve warm garlic bread with dinner. We enjoyed our visit and will go back. Mangia!!! read more

The food and drinks were wonderful. My chicken parm was so very moist and tender. Plus, the service was outstanding. I'm giving 5 stars, but I do wish the owners/management would lighten up on the cleaning fluid smell. We were there first for the early bird special and we were struck with an eye-tearing cleaning smell as soon as we walked in. Even when we were seated, we could still smell it. Please use something to clean that is aroma-free, or clean much earlier than you open. Trust me, this is not what you want your customers to experience. If it continues, we won't be back, which is a shame because everything else is great. read more

We were there tonight and we had a great dinner! The barbecue ribs were a 'Monday night special' prepared in the smoker and were very delicious, and served with a salad or soup and choice of a side! I ordered a seafood salad that was large and had calamari, shrimp, baby squid, mussels and garnishes. I will definitely order this again! We topped off the dinner with an order of Spumoni! Yay! Jimmy, the owner and chef, plans to also have a dinner, dance and live music section in his restaurant in the near future. Look for the ads soon! A great place for date night! read more

Very low quality Italian pasta (I lived in Italy for several years). They serve to those who like quantity over quality. Terrible singer too, which made the dining experience worse. read more

We've been to Tuscany Nokomis several times and the food was delicious. The ambiance felt upscale but in good taste. It felt like being in an Italian villa. Everything we ordered was fantastic and delicious. Complementary garlic bread was to die for. Food portions were generous, even the early bird meals. We loved our server Raul. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and gave excellent service. Raul recommended the Tiramisu for dessert, so we ordered it to share. It was the most delicious I have ever had and it was authentic too using mascarpone cheese. Tuesday nights are 50% pizzas. read more
